Public Service CS Geoffrey Ruku has issued a strong warning to all civil servants who report to work late and those who are always absent during working hours, declaring that they will now be treated as ghost workers.
Speaking on July 15, Ruku noted that habitual lateness and unexplained absences will no longer be tolerated in government offices.
The CS went on to announce immediate measures to identify and deal with those who fail to adhere to proper reporting times.

Ruku moreover stated that oversight mechanisms are being strengthened across all government offices, from the sub-county to the national level.
According to the CS, supervisors will now be tasked with overseeing attendance registers and tracking daily responsibilities through structured schedules and performance appraisals.
Ruku further noted that the ministry plans to assess the working environment and gauge employee satisfaction in ministries and state departments.
This comes weeks after Ruku warned civil servants from reporting to work late after making an impromptu visit to the Rift Valley Regional Headquarters in Nakuru and found hundreds of workers had not yet arrived at their respective offices.
